THE EFFECT OF CONCENTRATION ON THE RATE OF REACTION OF CALCIUM CARBONATE AIM: My aim is find out what effect would hydrochloric acid (the reactor) have on calcium carbonate (the reactant). PREDICTION: The higher concentration of acid, the faster rate of reaction with calcium carbonate. My reasoning for this, is that the more acid particles in the acidic solution there are, the more particles will collide with the calcium carbonate particles, and the more collisions there are, the quicker pace of rate gets. In essence, I predict my results would be, the concentration being directly proportional to the length of time. My prediction is based on collision theory (*=explained later on). EQUIPMENT: the equipment I will need for this experiment is: * Flask * Cork * Delivery tube * Trough * Measurement tube 2 * Timer * Pipette * Spatula * Apparatus stand * Balance METHOD: as you can see on the previous page how everything is set out. I will be...
